Q: What is a ferret?

The scientific name for a ferret is Mustela Putorius Furo. They are closely related to the weasel, otter, and stoat. The ferret is domesticated and it is rumoured to of been domesticated for over 2,500 years.

Q: How do ferrets fare as pets?

Ferrets can make excellent pets and live an average of 8 years with excellent care and diet. Ferrets are interactive and love to play, ferrets typically sleep around 18 hours a day. They need to be let out for at least 4 hours a day for play and interaction. They do best when kept with other ferrets since they are very sociable and love to play and sleep together. The ferret also tends to be a very clean animal. Once a ferret is neutered/spayed, they only have a very light smell Bedding should be changed regularly. If you do not neuter/spay your ferret, then it normally will have a musky smell that some people find offensive.

Q: What do you feed your ferrets?

I feed my ferrets a very balanced raw diet. Whole prey, commercial grinds, and Raw meat on the bone is excellent for keeping the ferrets teeth clean. I also give them organic quail egg once a week along with freeze dried meats and liver as treats.

*Do NOT ever feed your ferret ANY Sugar, Fruits or Vegetables Ferrets are STRICT Carnivores Doing so will cause major health issue for your ferret down the road*

Q: Should I neuter or spay my ferret?

" ALWAYS YES "The Hob (male) will go into rutt / season, and can put off an odour that can be quite offensive to some people. He will also probably try to mate with other ferrets whether they are male or female in your home causing them distress and he could tear up their necks quite badly trying to mate. Hobs also "MARK" everything when they are in season. This is a mix of Urine and Semen hobs do this in hopes to attract a Jill. Once a hob is neutered he will normally calm down quite a bit and marking stops.

A Jill (female) needs to bebred or brought out of season with a jill jab by your vet each year. You can tell a jill is coming into season as her vulva will swell to quite a large size. If the jill is not brought out of season then she could develop Aplastic Anaemia and if left unnoticed she could die. If she is left intact she could also develop Closed/Open Pyrometria which could also be life threatening.

Q: How does the angora ferret differ from the normal ferret?

The angora ferret has a few physical traits that makes them stand apart from the normal ferret. A full angora ferret has no undercoat and the fur is 4 to 6 inches in length. They also have an extra fold in the nostril area and sometimes will have a tuft of hair either on or inside the nose. The nose cleft can vary from very slight to very noticable. The female angora is unable to produce enough milk to nurse their young.

Q: Do angora ferrets require any special care or grooming?If kept clean, you shouldn’t have any problems, They smell no different than a standard ferret and have the same grooming requirements.
